Innovation
Our Work
Innovation is at the heart of transforming cancer care across the North East and North Cumbria. Our ambition is simple yet bold: to harness cutting-edge technology, digital solutions, and genomic medicine to improve outcomes, reduce inequalities, and create a seamless experience for patients and clinicians.
Why Innovation Matters
The NHS 10-Year Plan sets out three major shifts:
- From hospital to community – bringing care closer to home.
- From analogue to digital – creating a digitally enabled NHS that operates 24/7.
- From sickness to prevention – using tools like genomics and early detection to stop disease before it starts.
Innovation is central to these changes.
In this section of our website you will find out more about our work on driving innovation and digital transformation and how genomic medicine is revolutionising cancer care.
